Natalie Portman: Pink Cheeks and Lavender Lids

Makeup artist Jeannine Lobell used Natalie Portman's orchid Rodarte dress as inspiration for this makeup effect. To get Natalie's deep purple smoky eyes use a pale pink shadow as a base and dark plum shadow in the crerases. Lobell recommends Chanel Silky Eye Shadow Duo in Orient Express. Finish off the eyes with lots of black liner and mascara. Next, blend a bright pink blush high on your cheekbones and swipe on a pale lavender lip gloss like Chanel Glossimer in Galactic. For a sexy, bronze sheen, apply bronzer to your arms, shoulders, and décolleté.

Makeup artist Angela Levin wanted Jennifer Aniston to look luminous and sunkissed. Her trick: Prep your skin with a light moisturizer like Chanel Hydramax Active Moisture Boost Cream before using a foundation brush to blend a sheer base all over. Instead of a traditional blush, dab a bit of lipstick like Chanel Hydrabase Lipstick in Coco Red onto the apples of your cheeks and a shimmery liquid bronzer around the tops of your cheekbones.
